Doing Injustice to the Hen.

This little story Major Ben Butter
worth had from worthy Scot; 81
visited our agricultural fair" said he,
"and was disappointed to find that the
premiums Altered for the best horses
were so large as compared with the poul-
try premiums. Well | was called on for
a speech, you know, and l took advan-
tage of it to call attention to the matter.
l said: Gentlemen, it seems to me that
your committee has made a mistake and
done an act of injustice to the hen. The
horse is a noble animal and is worthy of
any encouragement you feel able to give
him in the way of premium. But,
gentlemen, you ought not to forget that
our exports of the products of the hen
eggs-exceed in value the exports of
horses. Besides, gentlemen, your horses,
once exported, are gone. Not so with
the hen She remains at home and keeps
right on doing business at the same old
stand Well, you know, that speech
made such an impression that the com,
mittee determined to give the hen bet
ter show hereafter. ."-Neio York Tribune.

New York's aqueduct, which will prob
ably be completed this year, is regarded
as one OF the creates riumphs of mod
ern engineering. Al Nv general figures,
says the New York San, will give a
better conception of this work than now
obtains. The aqueduct is in reality a
continuous tunnel, thirty miles in extent,
with a sectional area of 1861 feet, or suf-
ficiently large to accommodate an ordi-
nary train of cars. 1t trayerses a broken
country, now beneath lofty hills, again
crossing deep valleys; diving at times
under broad rivers; most of the way
cut in solid rock, its average depth be-
meath the surface being about $50 feet
Excepting where it is carried under wa
Ter courses, it maintains perfectly regu-
lar though slightly descending grade, and
yet will deliver its vast river of water at
the highest elevation on Manhattan ISL
and, thus giving a head for distribution
which will carry it to the tops of the loft
lest buildings. The present aqueduct has
a sectional area of but 53i feet, or but a
trihe more than one-third of the new.
Thus the new win be capable of fur
nishing the city three times the volume
Of water which the old aqueduct could
onvey even when pressed to its utmost
capacity, as it has been for several years
past, to the great anxiety of the engi-
neers and Others concerned.

The patent medicine trade is great
and growing one in England. During
the year 1886 e179, OH was paid by man
ufacturers of these articles to the Gov
ernment in the shape of stamp taxes. In
1866 the sum paid was only e55, 1888, and
in 1875 it was Ella, 1928. The quantity of
medicine placed on the market in the
ten years 1858 did not increase so
largely as it did in the ten years from
1865 to 1875. The Pail MIL Gazette
says that as the value of the stamp or
abel is one-eighth of the total value of
the article stamped, an approximate esti-
mate of the total value of the trade in
those goods is possible, On the basis
given the above journal says the expen-
diture of the people for this clrss of medi-
cine has increased in twenty-one years
from e497, 907 to 1,611, $50.

PARABLhS.

Earth sings her parallels of loss and gain
In boldest speech,
Yet heights sublime which spirits shall attain
She cannot reach.
Aerial whispers float DER land and sea,
" 1t doth not yet appear what we shall be-"
Her royal puppies and her crowns Of gold,
Her white attire,
The sceptred lilies which her summers hold,
With flames afre-
All fail TO show the glory we shall see
" It doth not yet appear what we shall be-"
Who from unsightly bulb or slender root
Could guess Alright
The glory Of the flower, the fern, the fruit,
In summers height
Through tremulous shadows voices call TO me
" II doth not yet appear what we shall be-"
Triumphant guesses from the seer and sage
Through shadows dart,
And tender meanings on the poets page
Console the heart.
o songs prophetic though so sweet are ys,
d" 1t doth not yet appear what we shall be-"

Oh, rear no costly marbled stone
Above my lowly lying head

But let me rest in peace alone
With wild flowers DER my up-turned facs,

Oh, do not come to mourn for me,

You bend o'er my low-lying head,

When, by and by, the grasses wave

A Child's Life Saved BY a Horse.

At Higgins's Lake, Roscommon Coun-
ty, Mich, recently Mrs. Charles IL. Pet
tit and her little daughter, aged three
years, were boating when the child fell
into the water. The mother, in her anx-
iety and fright, upset the boat, and, as
they were alone, the chances were they
would both be drowned. Such would
have been the case had not their horse,
an intelligent French pony, which had
been turned loose TO Craze on the shore
of the lake, came to the rescue. IL swan
out to them, and when they had taken
secure hold of its name, struggled back
to shore, tired but heroic pony. The
animal is inclined TO be balky, and he
never would pull anything but a light
load, but he is a prime favorite now.

Baby Powder"

In place or any preparation sold under
the name of "baby powder " use some
fine starchl Put few Jumps in a cup
and pour over it enough cold water to
dissolve it. After you are sure it is dis
solved let it stand until the starch is set
tied and the water is clear, then turn the
water off. Let the starch dry and then
powder it and put it in soft muslin
bag, through which it will sift out.
This is very healing and answers
admirably any purpose the powder is
supposed to serve. 1t may be perfumed
with few drops of any good extract
put into the water in which it is
dissolved.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
How to Whip Cream.

Cream should be thirty-six hours old
in cold weather, twenty-four in summer,
and it should be thoroughly chilled be-
fore it is whipped. In hot weather the
bowl should be set in ice while it is
whipped. Under these conditions cream
will beat as solid as white Of eggs, with
out any milky remainder. Do not re-
move the froth as it rises, but beat steady
for fifteen minutes, or thereabouts. You
will find then your cream is solid.
